I adore tadpoles. Simply adore them. A schoolteacher friend of mine brought tadpoles into her classroom and then, when the school year ended, wasn’t able to keep them. I would of course not let those innocent tadpoles perish! So I took them home with us and we raised them into frogs

Hurrah! Hurrah! The ruby-throated hummingbirds are back! Every year pretty much exactly on May 1st, the hummingbirds fly to my front office window and hover there. They wait for me to come out and hang my feeder.
